and duchess of cambridge joined 4000 guests to remember the sacrifice made by so many in a battle that has come to symbolise the horror of world war one. ben brown is at tyne cot cemetery in belgium. 100 years ago today, this time 100 yea rs 100 years ago today, this time 100 years ago today, the battle of passchendaele was raging. it had just begun in the early hours of the morning, 4:10am in the morning. the offensive was underway. but already by now many british and commonwealth soldiers had already fallen. half a million casualties in the end after those three months of fighting in the battle of passchendaele forjust five miles of territory gained. thousands of those who did die are buried here at tyne cot cemetery. that is where we have had this commemorative ceremony headed by the

prince of wales, prince charles and also the duke and duchess of cambridge, they laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier. robert hall has this report. there are few more peaceful places than the gentle slope of tyne cot. today among its white headstones families looked back across the years to another big push. at ten to four in the morning, less tha n push. at ten to four in the morning, less than five miles from here, thousands of men drawn from across britain, france and the commonwealth attacked german lines. the battle we know today as passchendaele and last for over 100 days. we remember it

not only for the rain that fell, the mud that weighed down the living and swallowed the dead, but also for the courage and bravery of the men who fought here. tyne cot overlooks the rolling farmland, streams and words that were once no man's land. a scar of liquid mud and stagnant stinking craters. this rare film held by the australian national archive gives a sense of the struggle to gain ground as more and more men were thrown into the attack. bertjoined the lancashire fusiliers with the school friend at 18. he struggled up slimy duck boards to reach his startling. we we re duck boards to reach his startling. we were often taking a quarter of an hour to go we were often taking a quarter of an hourto goa we were often taking a quarter of an hour to go a couple of yards, because some of the dock boards with tilted to one side or another.

0thers tilted to one side or another. others were falling into shallows. we got some out and there are some we couldn't get out. the point was, was it worth rescuing two men's lives to save one? private edward michael batten, 13th platoon, the company, 44th battalion, australian... private james munro. 0ne south african infantry regiment... my great great grandfather... my great, great uncle, private auster stevenson... —— walter. uncle, private auster stevenson... -- walter. voices and stories from around the world. in the army, members fought and died alongside each other. bert began his attack

here aside the german bunkers that now lies within cot cemetery. the lancashire fusiliers made its way appeared towards passchendaele village and a spot bert slater said he would never forget. we came across what would be about 100 yards square of bodies that had been caught in an artillery shrapnel attack. they were absolutely massacred. tyne cot may not see an event on this scale again but it has been a place of pilgrimage for a cemetery and is likely to remain so for generations to come. the ceremony here at tyne cot finished a

short time ago. some of the descendants, 4000 or so who have made the journey out from britain to belgium and have been here for that commemorative service at tyne cot are right now just filing commemorative service at tyne cot are right nowjust filing out of the cemetery. there were so many who wa nted cemetery. there were so many who wanted to come to remember their a ncestors wanted to come to remember their ancestors who fought in passchendaele that the government had a ballot because there was only room for 4000 here in the cemetery and some of these are just some of the people who wanted to come here from the united kingdom to be here on this 100th anniversary. at the end of the service there was a fly— past end of the service there was a fly—past by the belgian air force. let's show you pictures of that. belgian f—16s flew in a missing man formation to honour all those who we re formation to honour all those who were wounded, died ought went missing in northern belgium. —— four went missing. let's talk to two people who have been at the commemorative service this

afternoon. and when whose grandfatherjack was in the battle of passchendaele. he wrote a letter to his wife lizzie in, that was read out in the cemetery last night. also officer bill rhodes whose great, great uncle was also called bill rhodes who died on the first date 100 years ago today. tell us what you think happened to him. 100 years ago today. tell us what you think happened to himm 100 years ago today. tell us what you think happened to him. it is quite unsure of exactly, but the cheshire regiment lost 95% of their manning over that period of the 600 that started the battle, those that we re that started the battle, those that were left were 3081 believe and just in context that great loss of life is huge. why did you feel it was

important for you to be here today 100 years on? i think from a family point of view it was very important to be here. we had planned to be here before we knew the service. we had been planning it for about nine yea rs. we had been planning it for about nine years. we had was planned and then luckily we both got the ballot and i was asked to be part of calling the names. anne owen, talk about your fatherjack because the letter he wrote to his wife, like so many soldiers who were either died or are injured or went missing, they wrote to their loved ones before going into battle, what did jack write to his wife lizzie? he told her all about life as it was at the time. he apparently got into some offensive with nine people and only three came out. i might have the figures wrong, something like that. he was going into battle and he said there was

something big happening and she didn't hearany something big happening and she didn't hear any more until december, but she knew he was missing and put up but she knew he was missing and put up adverts in the paper, all sorts of things to try and find out where he was. he wasn't officially, we weren't officially told he was missing presumed dead and december 18. so a whole year later he was officially declared missing? for a long time she had to wait not knowing? three children, two under seven. my mother who was the oldest, she used to hear her mother crying every night and she thought she had been naughty. she didn't realise, presumably my grandmother hadn't told the children that their father was dead at that time. we think about the suffering of the troops 100 years ago, actually the suffering of the families at home, the wives, children waiting for news, horrendous. my other

grandfather was also called a passchendaele and he has a grave, so both my parents mothers brought up their three children, but had three children. bill rhodes, looking back 100 years ago at the battle, you are a notary manned and it was supposed to be the word to end all wars. we know it was hell out there, those fields look so beautiful now but that was just a sea of mud during this bottle of passchendaele, mustard gas, complete horror of war. i don't think anybody could actually appreciate how horrific it was, the conditions, i think the conditions we re conditions, i think the conditions were just unbelievable. and conditions, i think the conditions werejust unbelievable. and looking at what the guys had to fight in, effectively what i am wearing now is how they went to war. the rain, the mud, 100 years ago today it was not

as nice as today. bomb holes everywhere and the landscape was com pletely everywhere and the landscape was completely different. why did you feel it was so important to be here? thousands of people have come over from britain, descendants who wanted to be here today. untilwe from britain, descendants who wanted to be here today. until we got the letter a don't think many of us knew what was going on. it was found in my grandmother's handbag when she died, so then we started to think we should have a look and finally in the 1980s we managed to get my mother and my uncle here to see their father's name on the stone. but that is the first, and they were crying so much because it was their grieving. but it means a lot to you? of course. my sister died a few years ago, catherine is her daughter. janet and i were very keen on the family history side of things and she kindly arranged it all.|j on the family history side of things and she kindly arranged it all. i am glad you could make it. thank you

for being with us and build roads as well. thank you very much indeed. —— bill rhodes. does —— two of the thousands of british descendants who had fought and died at passchendaele and we're here for this service this afternoon. thank you. the government has pledged to recruit another 21,000 mental health workers in england over the next four years. the health secretaryjeremy hunt says it's time to end the "historic imbalance" between mental and physical health services, and wants an extra one million people to be treated by 2021. the royal college of nursing says more money is needed to be able to train new staff on time. here's our health editor hugh pym. v0|ceover: underfunded and not prioritised, mental health care has suffered in recent years according to campaigners and charities, with patients often experiencing long wait for nhs treatment. the government says that is changing with new investment and an expansion of the mental health workforce in england. we have worked out exactly how me more doctors, nurses, therapists we need, we have worked out where we think we can get them

from, and like all plans it will be challenging to deliver it but we are determined to hold true to our promise to transform mental health services. the plan involves an extra 21,000 mental health staff in england by the 2020 financial year, including children's services, adults talking therapies and crisis care. official figures show that there was a fall in the number of mental health nurses of more than 6600 between 2010 and 2016. the move has been welcomed by the royal college of nursing, though leaders are sceptical about what can be delivered. how are we going to do that in such a short timescale when other government policies are getting in the way of that. we already know we have one in ten posts in mental health vacant, we will fill those as well as putting additional nurses in. campaigners warned it would not

address all the problems of recent yea rs address all the problems of recent years but it was a step in the right direction. because mental health services have been underfunded for so much time, this initiative by itself us to give the parity of esteem that so many of us want, but what it will do it set the foundations to be able to look forward to future where mental health is treated on an equal footing to physical health. labour argued that by keeping a lid on public sector pay the government was making it harder for the public sector pay the government was making it harderfor the nhs to recruit and retain staff. to expect that people are going to flock when nothing is being done about pay, where the real work load problems and is morale problems, it is not realistic. a key part of the government plan is to encourage psychiatrists and mental health nurses who have left the nhs to return, whether that can be achieved is farfrom return, whether that can be achieved is far from clear. the bbc presenter vanessa feltz has said she was "extremely upset" by a sunday times column,

which suggested she earned a high salary at the corporation because she wasjewish. she described the piece, written by kevin myers, as "so obviously racist it's surprisingly hurtful". 0ur media editor amol rajan is here. remind us of the background to this, and what is likely to happen now? what happened was in yesterday's irish edition of the sunday times a controversial columnist known as kevin myers published a column where he said somebody outlandish things. he said that vanessa feltz and claudia winkleman were only in the list of top paid bbc stars because they were jewish and he list of top paid bbc stars because they werejewish and he managed not only to be anti—semitic but vaguely misogynistic as well saying that maybe some women had more junior positions because they get pregnant while men don't. it was bizarre. it was intellectually incoherent. as a former newspaperman it is strange how it got through the various layers of bureaucracy. usually a column editor will speak to the commerce and say what you think about writing and the columnist will say they have got this stuff coming and he will file a copy and you will ta ke and he will file a copy and you will take the edge and say what does what

you got. at some point someone should read this and said this seems com pletely should read this and said this seems completely barmy. the column was published, it had a huge number of people angry, including vanessa fell to address the issue her radio show this morning and here's what she said. when you write something it is read by a sub—editor, the features editor, it is supposedly read by the legal team and the editor. disposable read by the legal team. it is not like you write it and it is in the table of itself. ijust couldn't understand how all those layers of command had allowed something so blatantly racist to be put in the paper. picking up the point you havejust made, i'm just wondering what the future is. we have a rough idea what happened to the man who wrote it but what about the editor because the bug stop there? to a sudden extent. the territory of the sunday times would reasonably argue that he doesn't see everything that goes in

the irish edition. a note by the way, that in frankfurt gibbon's statement, the editor, he takes full response bill did what appeared. it is being deflected. having spoken to news uk and the robert —— rupert murdoch owned company, there is a clear message that not only will kevin myers not be ready for the irish edition a tempting but any murdoch publications in the near future. these are very times or the sunday times and i think there is tremendous embarrassing that the paper but they are hoping that with a pretty open apology and the removal kevin myers they can move on. as any lobbying broken? we don't know that any law has been broken. could, what could be cited is incitement to racial hatred but that think that is relevant here and i don't think the people referred to in the article have talked about taking action but it's comes down to editorial rather than legal judgment. the editor of the newspaper you have to work out

whether the upside in being controversial inputting radical opinions out there is a great but the fact you are going to offend a huge number of people and it is not just that the speech was anti—semitic at and it was rude to remain everywhere, it was intellectually incoherent. it was in the column you would be proud to publish. there are big answers needed not only by the sunday times that the editor of the irish edition. the prime minister's spokesperson has insisted that the free movement of people will end in march 2019 when the uk leaves the european union. after a series of interventions by senior ministers in recent days, downing street said it was wrong to speculate on the sort of immigration system which would need to be implemented after brexit. let's speak to our political reporter emma va rdy. it does on the face of it all look a bit of a mess? we have seen this run of stories and interviews with different ministers setting out their vision for brexit. lots of gossip and rumours of cabinet

splits. but really today the prime minister's spokesman was seeking to rein in that speculation and seeking to clarify the government position. they said that the government position has not changed from that which the prime minister said that in her big lancaster has speech at the beginning of this year. they said that the dim of movement will not continue after brexit and that it is not not after a deal that will punish us and for the keepers in the single market. new immigration rules we re single market. new immigration rules were becoming in due course. thank you for that. some news we broke a short while ago that there was a power blackout in glasgow. we hear that scottishpower said there was a fault of another substations around half past 12. resulted in the buchanan galleries shopping centre being evacuated. a spokesman for the company says it has now been restored. that is according to scottishpower. they think differently do let us know but that

is late as we are hearing from scottishpower. a controversial documentary about the late diana, princess of wales is to be shown on channel 4 this weekend. there are some calls to cancel the programme which will show recordings that haven't been played in the uk before, in which she discusses her marriage, and relationship with a royal protection officer. with me is our news correspondent matt cole. channel 4, they are going ahead. they are indeed. it is considered very controversial because the recordings were not interviews ever intended to go to air. this is recording work of princess diana, the late diana, princess of wales, recorded in 1982 and 1993. about five hours worth of tapes. she did work with her speech coach rehearsing her speaking voice ahead of one big interview ultimately she gave in 1995 to the bbc panorama programme but that was the only interview she gave to martin bashir and this was the sort of prep work

leading up to lid to get the confidence to do an interview like that. in it her speech coach got to talk about all sorts of personal things, her sex life with prince charles, her attitude to their marriage, she gave away details like the fact that they had only met 13 times before their wedding day, these were very personal and deep things that were shared, but with the intent that it was all about being able to deliver those phrases rather than actually put them to air. suddenly the man who undertakes subsequently, peter settled ten, air. suddenly the man who undertakes subsequently, petersettled ten, her voice coach, saw them on. they had been sold on in the states before but this is only for the uk. it is going into this documentary next sunday and a lot of people close to princess diana are very angry. not any gender, her royal biographer. she had children, and do her children, i don't care what age they are, do they want to know how often their parents had sex? is that anybody's business? it is certainly not our business. all we need to know about our royal family is they do theirjob

and they are worth the money. we do not need to pry into their private lives, and this may have historical interest, but 20 years on, when her sons are still young, youngish, when her ex—husband is alive, when the royal family that welcomed her into their family and when her sisters and brother are still alive, this is not the right time. it is like going back in time 20 yea rs it is like going back in time 20 years because at the time there was a lwa ys years because at the time there was always this conflict between the public interest and what interest the public, is any ardent in the case that there is public interest? there are some who say no, they talk about the sale of these tapes being grubby blood money, but channel 4 ta kes a grubby blood money, but channel 4 takes a very different view on this indeed. they say these are very important historical documents. they say they have considered very carefully which clips to use from the near five hours worth of

broadcasting. it should be pointed out many of those five hours will simply be voice coaching work, i'm sure not very interesting at all, but channel 4 are insisting this is a legitimate journalistic use of these tapes, as was explained earlier today to bbc five live by the head of factual but channel 4. there were two macro key factors. 0ne there were two macro key factors. one is we can argue about when things become history but 20 years have passed by. diana was very conscious of being filmed, she said she is happy to be recorded. when people see that they will see a relaxed, informal diana, comfortable talking about her story. you can see the process she is going through is one of bringing to life story, not of concealing her story, actually processed channelling the natural voice and using her personal

experiences to inform that voice. i don't think people find the experience of watching the tape is anything but eliminating. experience of watching the tape is anything but eliminatingm experience of watching the tape is anything but eliminating. it should be said to bbc had these tips ten yea rs be said to bbc had these tips ten years ago but decided not to go ahead with running them. channel 4 will be a gnome on sunday night. i have spoken to kensington palace enquiring what prince william view is. they are not going to comment. thank you. one of the world's highest—paid sports stars, cristiano ronaldo, has appeared in court in spain, accused of defrauding the authorities of millions of pounds in tax. prosecutors say the real madrid star used a company to hide his true income. ronaldo has allegedly evaded paying more than £13 million in tax since 2010. his earnings last year amounted to £72 million — which included his salary, bonuses and endorsements. ronaldo has denied the allegations, saying in a previous statement that his conscience is clear. there has been quite a bit of drama

outside the courtroom at the very least. inside we don't know, it was a closed session. cristiano ronaldo appearing beforejudges. a closed session. cristiano ronaldo appearing before judges. he a closed session. cristiano ronaldo appearing beforejudges. he will decide if this due course these allegations will proceed to a full trial, a full case. we will know that in due course, but he arrived via a side door. didn't come through the waiting media. but then real madrid his employer, an employer who are quite worried that perhaps ronaldo will leave because the player himself is very angry over these allegations, he said that indeed he would leave spain such was that anger about the allegations. real madrid but on a big show today and brought in a sound system and said that rinaldo would be addressing the media as soon as he had finished giving testimony and so he waited. within the envelope him appeared and said no, they had gone home and won't be appearing it today. read into that what you will. very serious crimes. a fine of around £25 million awaits them and potentially a three—year jail term although that is theoretical. it would be difficult to see if he

would be difficult to see if he would be difficult to see if he would be jailed. very big fine awaits if he is convicted. no word from rinaldo today. he has gone away and we will wait to see this tax case will now proceed into a full trial. that was not cristiano rinaldo but are equally talented richard conway. hsbc says it plans to return £1.5 billion to its shareholders after an increase in first half profits. the bank reported an unexpected rise of 5% in pre—tax profits for the first six months of the year. the results led it to announce a share buyback, which it expects to complete by the end of 2017. former bosses —— bosses of the charity kids company have been disqualified following a government probe into the valley. the insolvency service has announced it will bring court proceedings against camilla and allen, nine of the company ‘s former directors of

facing bans are between 2.5 years and six years. the charity collapsed in 2015 after receiving a grant of £3 million from the government. if you are watching us on freeview or youview some channel numbers are changing on wednesday afternoon. bbc news is moving to channel 231, whilst bbc news hd will remain at 107. some tvs will update automatically but you may need to retune your freeview or youview tv or box. for help on how to retune you can go to freeview channel 100 or visit freeview. co. uk/retune. sky, freesat and virgin media viewers are unaffected. lets get our weather forecast. good afternoon. a quick look at the latest radar and satellite sequence. it shows that most of the cloud and showers have been towards the north and west of the uk. that is how they will stay for the afternoon. a few will stay for the afternoon. a few

health nurses in england over the next four years , despite criticism from the royal college of nursing that the time frame for training additional staff is unrealistic. family and friends of princess diana have urged channel four not to broadcast controversial tapes of her discussing her marriage with her voice coach. much of the footage has already been aired in the us, but never in britain. and cristiano ronaldo has appeared before a court in madrid accused of tax fraud. £13 million in tax since 2010, has previously denied the allegation. was going to say more sport, but it's not really more sport when he appears to court. how can you get me out of this hole? some good news

regarding the cricket. it's the final day of the third test and england are closing in on victory over south africa — win, and they'll move to a 2—1 lead in the 4 match series — our correspondentjoe wilson is at the oval for us. by my by my calculations, you are about 40, 45 minutes out with regards to your predictions. there was meant to bea your predictions. there was meant to be a band of rain, but it has moved over, so that is my inspiration. i think i was reasonably close. england needed to take the six wickets. we had two in two wickets and then we had a hat—trick from moeen ali to ramp things up after lunch. you have to give some credit for the elgar who batted the 220 balls to make 136. he was the first of the hat—trick for moeen ali and member bader came in. then we had to wait until the start of the next overfour wait until the start of the next

over four moeen ali to get rid of maharaj, lbw. england came into this test match with decent players. the much of the game, england benefited from the cloud cover, the seaming conditions, swing conditions, but it was moeen ali who took advantage of the pitch just wearing a bit to wrap things up with that hat—trick. for the crowd that came in, it was about half full. if you paid £20, or £1 416 and under, i think you got a good of cricket. thank you very much. england beating south africa by 239 runs. the re—introduction of safe—standing at premier league football grounds has come a step closer, after liverpool fans have voted overwhelmingly

in favour of rail seating. grounds in the top two tiers of english football have been all—seater as a legacy of the hillsborough disaster in 1989 which left 96 liverpool fans dead. 0ur reporter david 0rnstein joins me for more on this. it could be seen as a very influential day. calls have been growing for a relaxation of the legislation. since so many people standard grounds now and also since the real reasons for the hillsborough disaster came to us with an unlawful death ruling and therefore we have got to this position where the likes of celtic held a successful trial last season. 0nly last month the premier league wrote to its clubs asking if they would be interested in a pilot scheme. shrewsbury town plan to bring in safe standing. now we have this boat with 80% of these bit of shankly group voting in favour of rail seating. that was maybe 18,000

fa ns rail seating. that was maybe 18,000 fans that apart, so it could be significant in terms of forming an opinion and at some point the authorities going to the government saying, we want to change the legislation, but we are not that point yet. that was david to that was david speaking to me earlier. it was back to training for some of the england squad today, preparing for their semi—final in the european championship. jodie taylor scored her fifth goal of the tournament as england beat france for the first time in 43 years. they play hosts the netherlands in the last four on thursday. they are called on the ball. they have shown at this tournament that they can play well, the wingers have been playing well and we have two stop that. there are places to exploit, especially with someone likejodie up exploit, especially with someone like jodie up top exploit, especially with someone likejodie up top scoring goals. all of our scholars have scored in this tournament and it shows that they had to be ready for us, but it will bea had to be ready for us, but it will be a different task and we will be ready. england preparing for the

semifinal of the european championship. that is all the sport for now, more in the next hour. thank you very much. it was one of the most deadly battles of the first world war. half a million men on both sides of the conflict were killed, injured or listed as missing. the horror of the battle of passchaendale is hard to imagine — conditions were so appalling that many people drowned to death in mud. events have been under way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of this enormous loss of life. earlier, prince charles and the prime minister theresa may were among those to pay tribute to those who died in the battle of passchendaele. 100 years ago today the third battle of ypres began. at ten to four in the morning, less than five miles from here, thousands of men drawn from here, thousands of men drawn from across britain, france and the commonwealth attacked german lines. the battle we know today as passchendaele would last for over 100 days. we remember it not only for the rain that fell, vermont that

weighed down the living and swallowed the dead, but also for the courage and bravery of the men fought here. the advance was slow and every inch was hard—fought. the land we stand upon was taken two months into the battle by the third australian division. it would change hands twice again before the end of the war. in 1922, my great—grandfather king george v came here as part of a pilgrimage to honour all those who died in the first world war. whilst visiting tyne cot, he stood before the pillbox that this cross of sacrifice has been built upon. a former german

stronghold that have dominated the ridge. 0nce taken by the allies, the pillbox became a forward a post to treat the wounded. those who could not be saved were buried by the brothers in arms in makeshift graves. these became the headstones that are before us today. all these were honoured in the generations and were the glory of the times. the b of them that they have left the name behind them so

that the praises maybe be ported and some that be that have no memorial, who perished as though they had never been and are become as though they had never been born and their children after them. but these were merciful man whose righteousness has not been forgotten. with the seed shall continually remain a good impotence and the children are within the covenant. the perceived standard fast and the children for their sakes. the seed shall remain forever and the glory shall not be blotted out. their bodies are boarded in dash—macro of buried in peace but the main lives for ever more. choral singing

more now on the government's announcement that thousands of extra mental—health workers are to be recruited by the nhs in england. the government aims to treat an extra one million people by 2021. the health secretaryjeremy hunt told the bbc it was time to end the "historic imbalance" between mental and physical health services in england. we are confident that we can get

these numbers. there are people who are trained in mental health nursery. people who were trained psychiatrist who are not currently working in the nhs we have a programme to attract them back into the nhs. what we want to say to them is we probably have the biggest expansion of mental health in europe going on at the moment. we are proud of what we are doing, but we want to doa of what we are doing, but we want to do a lot more. with me is hope virgo who was diagnosed with anorexia at the age of 16 and suffered from a shortage of mental health nurses. let's just explain, you went into hospital at the age of 16. yes, that is right. very ill. yes my heart nearly stopped when i was 16. i was admitted, andi nearly stopped when i was 16. i was admitted, and i had no choice about it and had been ill in the four yea rs before it and had been ill in the four years before that. looking at the four years before that, why did it get to the stage that you had to go to hospital? i don't think people really understood anorexia and how extreme it was. with eating

disorders, people see it as a phase that people are going through and then take it as seriously as they should. mental health nurses can make a difference to people like you. how? what is it that they do, how much time do they need to spend with you? a lot. i was lucky i spent a year in hospital because i had fantastic 121 support. they taught me how to eat again. i had cooking lessons, i went running with one of the nurses. it was about making me understand how to exercise in a healthy way. i have groups —— i had group therapy sessions. because of such intensity, i realise something was wrong and i could manage my recovery. at the age of 18 you leave hospital and it does not take much, a trigger or something and you are backin a trigger or something and you are back in hospital. but what happened

in the interim period? what about the care you should have received?” was meant to have outpatient support. when went to university adding get anything. they kept trying put me on antidepressants. it was a hospital linked to the university. i was still struggling with food. i managed it for eight or nine years and last year it hit rock bottom again and my grandmother died and after that i struggle so much with guilt and it was awful. i ended up with guilt and it was awful. i ended up trying to readmit myself to the mental health hospital because i knew i was getting on well again and ididn't want knew i was getting on well again and i didn't want to get on well. it was a co nsta nt i didn't want to get on well. it was a constant battle going on in my head. you reach out to help and you are told that you are not hitting the criteria and the con offer your support. ruefully, in terms of the promise of 1200 more staff, it

sounds good. we have heard about this imbalance between physical and mental health before. do you think the message is getting through?m is improving. people are gradually talking about mental health which is helping, but i don't think it is enough. it is a sticking plaster. people keep saying they are going to do things, but everything needs revamping. they need to think about prevention, early intervention and not to say they are going to do and if they are going to follow through with it. it's good of you to come in and talk. you have a book as well? yes, it came out in march. thank you for coming in to talk to us. we are hearing that the former royal marine kian maxwell who made bombs has been sentenced to 23 years. he will spend

18 years in custody and five years on extended licence. thejudge said that his actions had been a flagrant breach of trust and betrayal of his position in the armed forces. here isjim position in the armed forces. here is jim kelly. throughout his military career he was making bombs for the distant irish republican group the continuity ira. he was a very accomplished and sophisticated bomb maker who could have supplied these devices over a long period of time to violent dissident republican groups and undoubtedly i believe that by being caught now, lives have

been saved. four of maxwell's bombs we re been saved. four of maxwell's bombs were used by the continuity ira in residential areas and two of them went off. no one was hurt. he built 14 bombs and he knew those he was serving seen —— he was servicing work intent to kill. max will have been researching over 300 targets. he was from northern ireland and using his military id, he would travel back here, carrying bullets and bomb—making components. asa as a member of the royal marines elite 40 commando units, kian maxwell was based here in somerset and this is where he was arrested. for yea rs and this is where he was arrested. for years without ever being caught he had been systematically stealing

ammunition and adding it to his terrorist arsenal. as well as the locations in northern ireland, he had a further network of hives in the west country close to his home in devon. in all he had 43 hideaways for his deadly caches. as a teenager he was badly beaten by a loyalist gang. he was a catholic growing up ina gang. he was a catholic growing up in a unionist area. as a result he suffered from post—traumatic stress disorder, but the prosecution said it was not believed to be at the root of his offending. for me are monn officer and now northern ireland politician is astonished that maxwell got away with his extraordinary double life so long. we could have been looking at loss of life perpetrated at the hands of a serving soldier of the british military. if we don't look at how we vet people before theyjoin the military, we will have problems in the future. the ministry of defence

said all personnel were subject to security checks throughout their careers. maxwell, the road marine, now begins his prison term. that is the latest number of bailing. maxwell has been sentenced to 23 yea rs. we maxwell has been sentenced to 23 years. we will be talking to our correspondent at the old bailey very shortly. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour, but first, he headlines on bbc news. a hundred years on from passchendaele, hundreds attend a commemoration ceremony in belgium. the government announces plans to recruit more mental health workers, despite whether the targets are feasible. a controversial programme

about princess diana is been boycotted. i'm egon cossou. in the business news: profits at hsbc have gone up by 5% in the first six months of the year. it's also buying back some of its shares — we'll have more on this injust a moment. fees for going over your overdraft limit could soon be a thing of the past. the financial conduct authority says these charges are too high and too complicated. it's thinking about a fundamental shakeup. the chancellor, philip hammond says he won't try to undercut rival eu countries by slashing taxes after brexit. this is being seen as a softer tone from him. injanuary he said the uk would do whatever it takes to stay competitive after brexit. back to news about hsbc. it made pre—tax profits of more than 5 billion dollars in the second quarter of the year — that's more than analysts were expecting. it's also spending 2 billion dollars on buying back its own shares. this could push up the value

of the company by effectively restricting how many of its shares are on the market. the company's already had a good year, with its share price almost doubling in the last 12 months. analyst ken 0deluga says the share buy back is an important move. this is the third largest share buy—back. the reason why they do it is because for a bank, largely, particularly a bank in the post—crisis world, if you have a strong capital position, if you have managed to put aside more cash than your rivals, your shareholders are clamouring for you to return some of the cash to them. remember, we have had lean years where shareholders have sold up wholesale. in a way it's one way to reward your

shareholders, but it has another purpose. you mentioned earlier the share rise over the last year. in real terms, your shares will rise if you remove some stocks from the ability for them to be bought. snap, the company that owns the social media network snapchat, wants to be the next facebook — or something like it. it hasn't quite gone to plan, however. the company floated its shares back in march. they started at $17, went as high as $27, but since then have steadily sunk, and are now at $13. there is a wide expectation that today they could go even lower — because hundreds of millions of shares that have been unable to be traded could come on the market. samira hussainjoins us now from the floor of the new york stock exchange. what is it about today that could drive the shares down even further? while in fact, snap shares have been driven down. we have been over the trading for about 20 minutes. the shares are down another 4%. what has been putting pressure on snap shares

is that the past few weeks the early investors are now allowed to sell some of the shares. early investors are given the opportunity to buy into snap earlier which means they pay a lower price, but the is a warm up pay a lower price, but the is a warm up period. —— walk up period. that period has ended today and because people are worried that snap has not been performing very well, the last earnings report was pretty dismal, there was a lot of worry and we will see the shares being sold off. how much lower do we think it will go? that is a big question and it really depends on what snap is able to report. they will be reporting the next set of earnings on the 10th of august, so a lot of people will be looking towards that to see what they are doing in order to monetise.

everybody is hoping that snap turns into the next facebook, but there are people who are worried that it could end up looking a little bit more like twitter. one last question, the web bubble comes to mind. what are we thinking about that? it's hard to make that assessment. some tech companies are doing well, but others aren't performing as well. there's always going to be talk of people saying well perhaps we are entering into a tech bubble. some people are talking about housing bubbles, but it's hard for me to assess from the floor of the stock exchange, but what i can say is that a lot of people are looking towards snap. let's take a

looking towards snap. let's take a look at the markets. cigarette companies are drugging of the news that us regulators might limit the amount of tobacco they can put in their products. and the pound is holding steady against the euro and the dollar. back to the breaking news on ciaran maxwell. our correspondent is at the bailey. as a royal marines, he promised to serve queen and country, but he was building bombs for a northern irish dissident group. he knew the bombs could be used by people who wanted to kill police officers in northern ireland. within weeks of him joining the marines and

enlisting in elite training, he was researching how to build bombs. he built 14 bombs and two of them exploded, but no one was injured. we hope thejudge ‘s exploded, but no one was injured. we hope the judge ‘s comments in the last few minutes. he said it was a flag ra nt last few minutes. he said it was a flagrant breach of trust and he had let down the armed forces for which he ostensibly was serving. his activities only came to light after five years because two members of the public found two of the 43 weapons caches he had created both in northern ireland and in devon near to his home. it was only at that point he was linked to this much wider stash and the judge today was asking what was his motivation for joining was asking what was his motivation forjoining the was asking what was his motivation for joining the marines? was asking what was his motivation forjoining the marines? was there some kind of suggestion all along that he would be all, he would be a spy? thejudge said that he would be all, he would be a spy? the judge said there was insufficient evidence there was any sinister motivation for him joining the marines back in 2010. that said,

the marines back in 2010. that said, thejudge said he needed to the marines back in 2010. that said, the judge said he needed to send a message out so he pass a sentence of 23 years, 18 of which will be spent in prison for ciaran maxwell. he was about to be promoted to full corporal and he breathed his collea g u es corporal and he breathed his colleagues on the security situation in northern ireland, but all along, he was an enemy within. thank you very much. the headlines in a few minutes, but first, the weather forecast. a new week, but the same weather. it is quite unsettled. rain in the middle of the week and many will turn breezy from the north and the west will turn cooler as we return to sunshine and showers. low pressure in charge of the weather today. the closer you are to be low, the heavier the shadows. you can see a good peppering of showers across

of the world war one battle of passchendaele — commemorations are taking place in belgium. members of the royal family and the prime minister have attended a special service to remember those who served and died in one of the bloodiest battles ever fought. the battle we know today as passchendaele would last for over 100 days. we remember it, not only for the rain that fell, the mud that weighed down the living and swallowed the dead, but also for the courage and bravery of the men who fought here.
